Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Fox Princess ❯ Indentities Revealed ( Chapter 8 )

She couldn’t sleep at all. The fearful look on his face, that sadistic smile, both swirled in her dreams. As tossed and turned, trying to avoid them but they kept calling out to her. “Esmé...”

“Go away!!!”

“Esmé please. It’s me.”

“Get out of my mind! Go away!!! STOP!!!!”

Her home filled with screams. Aura, Orchid and Isis rushed into her room to see her tangled in her sheets. “Esmé! Esmé you have to wake up!!”

Orchid ran to Esmé’s side and tried to wake her. As Orchid shook Esmé, Esmé’s youki shot out of her body and knocked Orchid into the wall. “Orchid! Aura what’s happening?” Isis asked. “I don’t know. Something in her dream...”

“Aura, Isis!”

Aura and Isis turned to see Yurime and Eiji running towards their room. “How did they get here?” Isis asked. Yurime ran towards Esmé, shielding herself with a pure white barrier. “Esmé... Esmé wake up!!” Yurime commanded. She reached out of her barrier and grabbed Esmé. At that moment, Esmé’s eyes shot open and she sat up. She stared at Yurime with a fearful look then hurled herself into her arms. “Aunt Yurime...”

“Hush now.”

“No! They were real. They were calling to me, they knew me.”

Aura crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. “Spirits. Those were spirits in your dreams Esmé. They were trying to say something important to you. Perhaps they were the spirits of your deceased parents.”

Yurime nodded. She was sure they knew the hardship Esmé was going through. It was time for their voices to be heard. Hopefully next they’d be able to get through to Esmé. “All right, we’d better get back to bed. I’m sorry to be taking your room Isis.”

“Don’t worry about it Yuri. I much better sleep in the pond outside. It ain’t the best water but it’s a lot more serene than Orchid’s snoring.”

“Can it ya runt!”

Aura and Yurime looked to each other than left Esmé to listen to Orchid and Isis’ bickering. The following day was far better than the day before. The sun had shined its golden rays on the city. People enjoyed the cheery weather in parks and at outside cafes. As Esmé walked through the city, she thought about last night. Not on Haku’s death but by Youko Kurama’s presence. He had come to bring her back. She had to admit that she missed seeing him but she didn’t want him to be here. Bring her back to the Makai wouldn’t change anything. She was still the weak person she always was. “I don’t understand why you couldn’t leave me alone. Why did you have to find me?”

“Because I’m sorry I ran out on you last night and I hope to make it up to you.”

Esmé shuddered at the voice of the handsome Shuiichi Minamino. Innocent Shuiichi, he was like an angel. He drove away the pains in her heart. She felt the hurt wash away with each smile his beautiful face produced. He was perfect, almost unearthly. An angel from Heaven Esmé had referred to him as. Pure, sweet innocent Shuiichi was he, or so she thought. “I’m so sorry I ran out on you last night Esmé. Please, let me make it up. Tonight.”

“Tonight? I don’t think-”

“Don’t worry. I’d like to keep you until the stars fall from the sky but I won’t if you don’t want me to.”

Esmé blushed. Such sweet words he spoke and to make her heart skip with joy, they were meant for her. Nobody had been so good to her. Esmé agreed to Kurama’s little surprise. He didn’t say much on what it was. “I’ll pick you up at seven thirty tonight. I can’t wait to see you.” He kissed Esmé’s cheek and walked away from her, leaving her yearning for more of his kisses. “Oh Kurama...if only you truly were an angel. You’d see me through this storm.” She whispered. She turned away and continued on her way towards home. As Kurama walked home, he smiled to himself as he thought of his plans for tonight. He stopped at the florists and picked up a bouquet of roses then it was on to the store. He bought some ice cream and strawberries. Tonight was a special occasion and he had planned to use some champagne that Shiori had put away. She wouldn’t know because she’d be out on a double date with her sister and her boyfriend. It was a good thing Kurama had planned around Shiori’s time of leave and return. Shiori would leave at five thirty and would be back between eleven thirty and midnight, enough time for Kurama and Esmé to hold each other and whisper their true feelings towards one another. As Kurama walked out of the grocery store with his bag, Isis came running towards him. “Hey! You must be that guy that Esmé’s crazy about aren’t you?”

“Crazy about?”

“Yeah you. You must be that redhead that walked her home from the club a few weeks back. I’m her cousin Isis. Whatcha up to?”

Kurama winked down at Isis and whispered. “If I tell you you won’t tell Esmé right?” Isis nodded cheerfully. “All right, I’m planning a romantic dinner for the two of us. I’ve been wanting some time alone with her so I can tell her that...I’m in love with her.” Kurama admitted. Isis giggled then shouted happily. “This is so good! I can’t wait for Esmé to hear the good news. I won’t say a word. You two just have fun ok? I’m on my way home now.” Isis said. She waved good bye to Kurama then headed for home. Once there, she headed straight for Orchid’s room. “Orchid!!! We have a serious problem!!!”

“Besides the fact you’re about to die a cruel and horrible death for barging into my room?”

“Shut up for a minute! That Shuiichi guy’s got a crush on Esmé and he’s going to tell her tonight!”

Orchid unwrapped the towel from her hair and set it aside. What’s so bad about it? So what if Esmé had some ningen boy chasing after her? It wasn’t any of their concern. Orchid removed the towel from her body and put on her matching bra and panties, ignoring Isis. That pissed the petite icy blue haired girl off. She ran to Orchid and pulled her panties up her butt. “Ahh!!! You bitch!”

“Listen to me when I’m talking you little slut!”

“Enough! What are you two arguing about now?”

Isis and Orchid turned to Aura. Orchid fixed her clothes and Isis cleared her throat. “Well Aura, I ran into that human boy Esmé’s been seeing.” She announced. Aura lift her eyebrow in irritancy. “And?”

“He told me that he’s inviting Esmé over to his place for dinner. They’re going to eat, drink, hold each other and make love until the sun comes up! Aura don’t you see something wrong with that?”

Aura thought for a moment. It could be a hazard having a ningen boy as a lover. If Conya ever found out she could kill her. This was a risk that should be approached with precaution. “I’ll run it on Esmé before she leaves tonight. Orchid, do you have anything that’ll protect the boy just in case something goes awry?” Aura asked. Orchid sighed as she walked over to her jewelry box. “Diamonds are forever....they’re all I need to please me...they can stimulate tease me...”

“Stop your singing and find the damn thing.”

“Shut it bitch! Now where is...aha! Aura, this is one of my favorites. It’s a pearl that protects and negates all attacks that are sent at the person who holds it. If anyone tries to hurt the boy then this will protect him. It worked wonders for me whenever I went out on a night of thievery. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for the little bastard. Just tell her to give it back when she’s done with it...”

Aura took the pearl Orchid had given her and walked over to her room. As she was walking, Esmé swept into the living room and headed for the kitchen. It was the perfect opportunity for Aura to address Esmé’s date. “Going out tonight?” She asked. Esmé put her glass down and turned to Aura. Why the hell did everyone in the house know her business? So what if she was going out on a date? It was illegal. “I’d appreciate it if everyone would stick to their on affairs.”

“No Esmé. That’s not possible anymore. Did you forget? Conya knows you’re alive. You of all people should consider this a threat. It’s your life she’s after. Try to be precautious. You may attend your rendezvous but you will stay on guard. If you care for that boy you won’t let him be sacrificed.” Aura said. Esmé turned to Aura and entered a staring contest. She had no intention of letting another person die for her mistakes. She started to exit the kitchen but before she left, she closed her eyes and spoke. “I won’t let another one die because of me. I’ll burn in the seven hells before I let Shuiichi be taken from me.”

“Esmé, people do things they would never expect when they care for someone. If you do love him, then protect him. Don’t just speak it, do it.”

Esmé said nothing and left the kitchen. She didn’t want to admit she was in love but the feeling grew stronger every time she thought of Shuiichi. She just prayed that her love for him didn’t jeopardize his life.

That night, Kurama picked Esmé up from her house. He wore a white button up shirt and brown slacks. Esmé was dressed in a red strapless dress that stopped at her thighs and hugged her curves. On her feet were green boots (the type that sailor Jupiter wears). Kurama was speechless. No words could describe how beautiful she looked. He took her glove covered hand and kissed it. “I’d call you beautiful...but you’re so much more than that. I don’t want to insult you.”

“I’d call you handsome but you surpass that. Lets go, we have a beautiful night ahead of us.”

Kurama drove Esmé to his house, where a romantic candlelight dinner awaited them in the kitchen. Esmé took a seat and waited as Kurama came back with two glasses for the champagne and a rose. “For you...my lovely princess.”

Esmé received the rose and placed it in her hair. She looked up at Kurama, who was busy pouring them glasses of champagne. Once he had finished, he took his and hers and handed it to her. They raised their glasses. “What should we toast to my princess?”

“A beautiful friendship between a handsome prince and his lovely princess.”

Kurama and Esmé toasted their glasses and sipped their champagne. Kurama had made steak and vegetables. Esmé devoured the delicious food and sipped her champagne. For dessert, they had vanilla ice cream with blueberries and strawberries. Once Kurama finished he turned his sights outside. “Such a pretty night it is. Come Esmé, lets go outside and observe the stars.” He offered. Esmé wiped her mouth and joined Kurama outside. In the garden, there was a swing Kurama’s father had made for Shiori when they first bought the house. Shiori would sit with Kurama on her lap and swing gently when he was a young boy. “Sit.” He commanded. Esmé obeyed and took her seat on the swing. As Kurama pushed Esmé back, he began to sing. It was the song they had danced to at the club that night. Esmé joined in and together, they sang in perfect harmony. Once the song was over, Kurama smiled. “You sing beautifully.”

“As do you. Tonight’s been beautiful Shuiichi. I hope it’s not over yet.”

“No where near it.”

Kurama gripped Esmé’s shoulders and gently massaged. She relaxed under his grip and rested against him. “So good...” She moaned. Kurama’s heart skipped a beat. Hoping she wouldn’t be startled, he took a chance and kissed her neck. Esmé ran a hand over Kurama’s hand on her shoulder. “Don’t stop...do it again.” She whispered. Kurama grinned and returned to kissing her neck. His hands slid down from her shoulders and wrapped around her waist. Esmé savored the kisses Kurama gave to her but she wanted more. She wanted to feel his body pressed against hers, his lips in intimate places. She surprised Kurama by standing up and capturing his lips with hers. Kurama recovered from the shock and pulled Esmé close against him. “Esmé...”

“Shuiichi...mmm”

They continued to kiss vigorously and grope at each other’s body. Kurama ran a smooth hand over Esmé’s ass then gripped it and pulled her closer. She complied and came back to him. To make sure Kurama didn’t escape her, Esmé wrapped her right leg around Kurama’s waist and held it tightly there. “So you don’t leave me.”

“I would never want to leave you. I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long Esmé...”

Esmé tilted her head. So he did feel the same as she did. “For intimacy?”

“Not only that, I’ve been waiting for the right time to tell you...I’m in love with you Esmé. I love you and...if you don’t feel the same about me then-”

“I do love you Shuiichi. I never loved anyone the way I love you. I... wanted to love another but I couldn’t allow myself to fall in love. I didn’t want to fall in love. But this time, I couldn’t contain my feelings for you. I could have tried but they wouldn’t stay bottled up forever. I love you Shuiichi. Nothing can ever stop me from loving you.”

Kurama brushed a soothing hand on her soft cheek. Now that they had confessed their true feelings, Kurama wanted so much to make love to his new lover. He brushed his lips across her cheek and stopped at her ear. “Esmé...I want to...with you.”

“So do I. But your parents. Are they-”

“They won’t be back for a while. We have enough time.”

Kurama scooped Esmé off her feet and carried her to his room. He was so eager to be with her that he rushed up the stairs to his room, set her down on the bed and locked the door. When he turned to Esmé, she had already taken her boots off and was walking towards him quickly. She fiercely pushed him against the door and began another chain of luscious kisses. As they kissed, she unbuttoned his shirt and Kurama undid her dress. Once he had finished, it slid off her body and down to her ankles. Kurama stopped the kisses and walked her to the bed with her still facing him. Once she was laid down, he took in the sexy view. ::: Beautiful. :::

Esmé didn’t want to wait anymore, she unbuckled his pants then lowered them and his boxers, revealing a hard, throbbing dick. “I think you want to fuck me.”

“I do.”

Esmé pulled Kurama next to her then came on her knees. She placed a tender kiss on Kurama’s tip then engulfed it. Kurama was taken by the warmth of her mouth and groaned. Esmé’s tongue wrapped around it and massaged it slowly, causing Kurama to groan more. He wanted more of this feeling. He wanted Esmé to take all of him in her mouth. “Esmé...no more teasing...please.”

Esmé grinned and took all of Kurama in her mouth, sucking hard and bobbing her head. Kurama held onto the back of Esmé’s head and pushed her down on. Esmé could feel Kurama getting harder in her mouth and if he came, he wouldn’t have enough energy for the intense pleasure coming ahead. He pulled away and kissed Kurama again. Kurama wasn’t upset that he didn’t get to release. Instead, he’d pay back the favor. He pinned Esmé down to the bed, removed her panties and tossed them to the side. Using one hand, he parted her legs and used two fingers to penetrate her. “Ohh...”

“Yes Esmé...”

Kurama was turned on by that sexy moan. He was going to make her moan so much once more. He kissed down to her wetness then inserted his tongue inside. Esmé held her head back as her body was taken by ecstasy. The feeling of his tongue and finger inside her sent jolts of delight through her body. “Kurama...that feels so good...”

“You made me feel good. It’s only fair that you experience the pleasures I did. Tell me when you’re ready for me.”

“Oh Kurama...yes! I’m ready for you.”

Kurama gave Esmé’s intimate area one last kiss before he climbed on her. He reached over to the nightstand and searched for a condom. When he found it, he cloaked his dick with it. “Esmé...I love you so much.”

“I love you too Shuiichi.”

Kurama bent down and kissed her gently as he pushed into her. Esmé held onto him as he entered her. She could feel him throbbing with excitement. The warmth must have excited him. Slowly, he began to push in and out of her. Esmé moaned softly as more ecstasy filled her. She didn’t want him to stop or to slow down. “Oh yes Shuiichi! Harder!”

Kurama grinned at the request and raised his hips. Once he did, he thrusted hard and fast into Esmé, rapidly touching her g-spot. “Ahh!! Kurama!!”

“Yes Esmé...say it again.”

“Kurama!! You feel so good!”

“Mmm so do you...I’m cumming Esmé.”

She held tight to him, his thrusts becoming more rapid, beginning to become violent. She never thought a human was capable of such technique underneath the sheets. Nevertheless, she was satisfied. When he released, he laid on top of her and kissed her again. “I love you Esmé.”

“I love you too.”

Kurama smiled as he got off of her and took the condom off. He tied it in a knot so that his seeds would leak out. He’d discard that to the trash outside. He put on a pair of boxers and left the room. As Esmé laid in bed, she thought of when Shuiichi might return. He was now hers for the keeps and it would remain that way. Even if she were to return to the fox clan she-

“Oh no!” She gasped. Esmé popped up out of bed in realization of something. She had called Shuiichi Kurama! But why? She had never been with Kurama. But after that one night that she had almost been with him, she had dreamed of them making love time and time again. But why didn’t Shuiichi looked up surprised when she called him someone else? Perhaps it was in the heat of the moment. ::: When he comes back he’ll want an explanation...then I’ll have to be honest with him and reveal my true self to him. I just hope he can forgive me...and we can continue our relationship. :::

Downstairs, after Kurama had thrown the condom out, he stopped to get a drink of water. He gulped it down then walked back to his room. As he neared the steps, the same shock that hit Esmé hit him. She had called him Kurama. As Kurama tried to piece together, only one explanation came to mind. “That can’t be! But...if I think about it...it all fits.” He whispered to himself. He took a napkin from the kitchen and opened it fully. Then, he sketched a picture of Esmé upstairs. Then, he took a colored pencil and drew green hair instead of red and red eyes instead of green. “It matches! So...this is wear our princess has been hiding.” He said. He looked down at her purse and searched through it. To his surprise, he found the pearl Orchid had given her and Kurama knew exactly what it was too. The Mermaid’s pearl. This was all the proof he needed. He ran up to the room and shut the door. “Esmé.”

“Oh! Shuiichi you’re back. Come, lay with me.”

“Not yet. I want to ask you something and don’t lie to me. I want you to tell me what this is.” Kurama demanded as he held out the pearl. Esmé looked up at Kurama in disappointment. “You have no right going through my things. It’s a jewel my friend gave to me for good luck.” She lied. “Stop lying! This is the Mermaid’s pearl. It was used to negate attacks and protect whoever holds it. This is a rare jewel in the Makai. It was stolen by a wolf girl name Orchid Solaris, the girl you claim to be your cousin.”

“I-”

“You tried hiding it, you tried lying, but finally you can’t lie anymore. I know who you are Esmé Denoir. You’re Esmé, daughter of Shinosuke and Celia, princess of their fox clan.”

Esmé was speechless. This boy...wasn’t really a boy. He was a demon, he WAS Youko Kurama. Esmé turned to jump from the window but Kurama grabbed her wrist. “Get off of me! Unhand me now Kurama!”

“I won’t let you go. Do you know how long we’ve been searching for you?”

“I don’t care! I’m never going back! Never!!”

Kurama pulled Esmé into his embrace and held onto her tightly. “No, I won’t let you escape this time Esmé. It’s time...this time...you’ve got no where to run to.”
